Only 1 concern...

I have the 4.5 version with about 1000+ plays. Now that I have bought the 5.0 version, how do I go about converting my 4.5 to 5.0 version? Because as of right now, I can only open up my 4.5 version with my 4.5 playmaker pro and I can only open up the new version with the new 5.0 version. Please help!

Try adding a ".fbd" extension to your file names. That should solve the problem.
